<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1020308, member: 112&quot;]I didn&#039;t think of it until a few hours after I posted but I made a reference to a Henri D&#039;Or - and it isn&#039;t of course. It&#039;s a Franqois D&#039;or.</p><p><br /></p><p>And Conrad, while using the Fr. 354 catalog number is technically correct, there is something special about this coin I did not notice until now.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I&#039;m sure you probably know, or will very soon check, there are many varieties for this coin. The obverse is set apart and defined by the crowned R which signifies the Saint-Andre de Villeneuve-les-Avignon mint. That would make this coin a Dupplessy #782 or Ciani 1082. However, the reverse has an extra R on it - between INPERAT and the crowned R at 12 o&#039;clock. </p><p><br /></p><p>That R is normally only found on Duplessy #788. And #788 also has 2 additional dauphins in the angles of the cross. Your coin of course does not have those extra 2 dauphins on the reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect my friend that you have an entirely new variety here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
